Communication terminal equipment, reservation melody sending method, calling melody performing method and information storage medium

ABSTRACT

A control block recognizes the other party of the telephone call when both calling and called case. When the user operates the reservation melody key of the key input block while talking over the telephone and the telephone call reservation is directed, the control block retrieves telephone/E-mail memory and judges for the calling melody number whether to be registered. Because calling melody number  1  is registered, music data  1  is read, and the mute is put so that the voice from mike is not transmitted. When the control block outputs music data  1  to melody generation block, the melody generation block generates the calling melody signal based on music data  1 , and transmits it to the other party of the telephone call via modem, sending and receiving block and antenna. Moreover, the control block always observes the control channel specified by the base station while waiting. When detecting the arrival of a call and “ 4 ” of the calling melody specification data, the control block judges for caller information transmitted at the same time whether to be registered in telephone/E-mail memory. In this case, the control block displays the caller number and Hanako Yamada of the name because it is registered in memory number  1 . In addition, because the calling melody specification data is “ 4 ”, “Good news” of the character data corresponding to it is displayed, and “Beautiful Sunday” of music data  4  registered in memory number  4  is performed as a calling melody.

In addition to a telephone call function which is a basic function, eachtelecommunication carrier is competing and commercializing those radiocommunication devices which have a character transceiver function,E-mail function which transmits and receives text data and variousfiles, and Internet connectivity function represented by I-Mode of NTTDoCoMo (Registered Trademark) for a short period of time, and is aimingat the performance rise and the functional rise one after another. Stillmore, the conventional portable telephone is indicated by ProvisionalPublication No. OPH10-313338, OPH11-98248, OPH11-112554, OP2000-32142,etc. Because it is common knowledge, the detailed explanation isomitted.

By the way, the function which is a hit among young people especiallyand being able to say the de facto standard includes the calling melodyfunction, and it can be said that communication terminal equipment whichdoes not have this function is not new.

The user of these communication terminal equipments is making itunderstand only from listening to the calling melody by changing thecalling melody into each other party of the telephone call, and knowswho is calling. For instance, when assuming that it associates with alover's telephone number and music “SHIROI-KOIBITOTACHI” was registeredas a calling melody, the communication terminal equipment informs theuser of arrival of a call from the lover by performing“SHIROI-KOIBITOTACHI”, which is music corresponding to the telephonenumber as a calling melody when caller information is transmitted whencalling in and the telephone number corresponds to it. As a result, theuser can match how to talk and the spoken content to the lover byknowing the telephone from the lover beforehand.

By the way, in the indispensable function of a past cordless phonemachine etc., the telephone call reservation function to make it throwreservation melody to other party of telephone call while talking overthe telephone and listen is provided, and it is thought to adopt thisfunction for the cellular phone.

This telephone call reservation function is to select a specified one bypushing the melody button (Or, reservation button) while talking overthe telephone, for instance, from among several kinds of memorizedreservation melodies and to reproduce. Although it is easy for thecellular phone to achieve the telephone call reservation function by aquite similar composition, but it is not avoided to become a costimprovement.

Moreover, in a past communication terminal equipment as it was theabove-mentioned, because the calling melody corresponding to the otherparty is performed when a telephone call comes from a specific otherparty, the other party of the telephone call can promptly be gotten toknow, but even the content that the other party of the telephone calltries to speak (the content that the other party tries to pass on incase of E-mail) is not informed of.

This invention is made in order to solve the above-described problem,and the purpose of this invention are to provide communication terminalequipment, a reservation melody sending method, an information storagemedium which can achieve telephone call reservation function cheaply andmore interestingly by using a calling melody function which is anindispensable function to communication terminal equipment.

The purposes of this invention are to provide communication terminalequipment, a calling melody performing method, an information storagemedium which can inform of a rough content that a caller starts speakingbeforehand, and obstruct specification of performance of calling melodyfrom an unknown caller with malice by improving the calling melodyfunction which is an indispensable function to the communicationterminal equipment.

As prior art which seems to relate to this invention, although there isProvisional Publication No. OPH11-355393, this is that only transmitsthe rumbling pattern of the ring tone to the opponent, and thatopponent's speaker rumbles based on it, so it is clear not to have theselection means, etc., which are a peculiar compositions to thisinvention.

In addition, as prior art quoted at the examination stage of JapanesePatent Office, although there are Provisional Publication No.2000-124987, H10-271191, H8-154114, 2000-4276, H10-257131, H6-85889,H8-336173 and H9-200303, these do not deny novelty and inventive step ofthis invention.

(10) is a storage block which memorizes telephone book data used forcalling or for transmitting E-mail, the image data, music data ofcalling melody and reservation melody (melody to wait for telephonecommunication) data etc.

(11) is a melody generation block which generates the calling melodybased on the music data of the calling melody memorized in the storageblock (10) or the received music data. Moreover, when the reservationkey of the key input block (8) is operated while talking over thetelephone, the calling melody corresponding to the other party of thetelephone call is transmitted via the modem block (2), the sending andreceiving block (1), and the antenna (15). However, it might pass thevoice codec block (3).

(12) is a terminal for a external connection. Via the terminal (12), theimage data are input from an image data input device such as DSC(digital still camera) or DVC (digital video camera) and memorized intothe storage block (10). And, music data of calling melody input from themusic device (14) etc. corresponding to MIDI via the terminal (12) canalso be memorized. Moreover, it is possible to memorize the telephonebook data memorized in an old communication terminal equipment to a newcommunication terminal equipment by transmission.

Next, is an explanation the outline of the communication terminalequipment of this invention composed as the above-mentioned.

First of all, an explanation will be provided of the movement of thecommunication terminal equipment in the register mode of the telephonebook data together with the operation of the user.

The user of the communication terminal equipment shifts it to thetelephone book registration mode which registers the other party of thetelephone call data by operating the key input block (8).

FIG. 2 shows a pattern diagrams of display part included in the presentinvention.

The control block (7) presses the input of the name or the nickname, thetelephone number and the calling melody number in the telephone bookregistration mode. FIG. 2 (A) shows the user input Hanako Yamada as thename data, 090-8765-4321 as the telephone number data, and “1” as thecalling melody number data of Memory Number 1.

It is also possible that the user inputs directly by operating the keyinput block (8) as mentioned above. The user can correct and input databy calling the telephone book data just like the operation which selectsthe telephone number in call. FIG. 2 (B) is the state that the usercalled memory number 9 of the telephone book data, and shows TaroYamamoto as the name data, 090-7777-7777 as the telephone number data,and “N” as the calling melody number data. FIG. 2 (C) is the state thatthe user corrected and input memory number 9 of the telephone book data,and shows Taro Yamamoto registered in memory number 9 has changed tomemory number 2, 090-7654-3210 as the telephone number data and “2” asthe calling melody number data.

FIG. 3 shows pattern diagrams of a storage part included in the presentinvention, and the state before and after the registration of thetelephone book data and the calling melody data newly acquired.

FIG. 3 (A) is the state before the registration of the telephone bookdata and the calling melody data. Insignificant “NULL” data has beenentered as information for Memory Number 1 of telephone/E-mail memory,and telephone number information is not registered at all. In memorynumber 2, the data of 090-7654-3210 as the telephone number data, TaroYamamoto as the name data, taro@yyy.com as the E-MAIL address data and“2” as the calling melody number data are registered. In memory number3, the data of 090-6543-2109 as the telephone number data, JiroYamashita as the name data, “NULL” as the E-MAIL address data and “NULL”as the calling melody number data are registered. The state ofregistration from memory number 4 to memory number N is the same asmemory number 1.

In the state of this FIG. 3(A), FIG. 3 (B) is the state after theregistration of the telephone book data of memory number 1 and thecalling melody data of memory number 4. In memory number 1 oftelephone/E-mail memory, the data of 090-8765-4321 as the telephonenumber data, Hanako Yamada as the name data, “NULL” data as the E-MAILaddress data and “1” as the calling melody number data are registerednewly. Although the registration screen of the E-MAIL address is notdisplayed in FIG. 2, one may make the registration demand by onlyexpanding the registration item of the E-MAIL address into the samescreen.

Moreover, music data 4 is newly registered in memory number 4 of thecalling melody memory. As this registration operation, the user operateskey input block (8) for instance and the calling melody data is inputdirectly, or the data is obtained from the music device for MIDI etc.via the external terminal (12). In addition, if the calling melodyservice is used, it is also possible to receive the calling melody dataof the desire from the calling melody server via a wirelesscommunication network and to memorize it. Music data N is memorized asdefault music data, and when the calling melody number is not specified,it is played as a calling melody and a reservation melody. However,music data N of default can make it memorize not only one but alsobesides several.

“Beautiful Sunday” of the music which becomes happy for instance isregistered as music data 4, and it is performed for a good news.Oppositely, “Dead March” of the music which becomes sad is registered asmusic data 3, and it performs for a bad news.

Next, it explains the reservation melody sending operation in the stateof the memory of FIG. 3 (B) together with the operation of the user.

First of all, it is assumed that the user of the communication terminalequipment is talking over the telephone to Hanako Yamada of memorynumber 1 (The telephone number: 090-8765-4321) according to a well-knowncommunication procedure.

The control block (7) recognizes the other party of the telephone callby 090-8765-4321 which is the telephone number to the self did the dialwhen call is done (That is, when calling), or by 090-8765-4321 which isthe other party number received from the communication network when itis calling in (That is, when you receive the telephone). However, thecontrol block (7) recognizing the other party of the communication isacceptable that the E-MAIL address or URL, etc., that were not limitedto a telephone number alone, and associated by the other party of thecommunication memorized in the storage block (10).

With this telephone call state, when the user of the communicationterminal equipment operates the reservation melody key of key inputblock (8) and the telephone call reservation is directed, the controlblock (7) retrieves telephone/E-mail memory based on 090-8765-4321 whichthe telephone number to the self did the dial or is the received otherparty number, and judges for the calling melody number whether to beregistered or not.

In this case, because calling melody number 1 is registered, the controlblock (7) reads music data 1 of memory number 1 from the calling melodymemory, and puts the mute on so that the voice from mike (5) is nottransmitted. In this case, because calling melody number 1 isregistered, control part 7 reads music data 1 of memory number 1 fromthe calling melody memory. As how to put the mute, the input from mike(5) is turned off with the switch, and the method of dropping the inputedge to the ground, etc., is acceptable.

When music data 1 that the control block (7) read is output to themelody generation block (11), the melody generation block (11) soundsthe calling melody as well as the case of arrival of a call based onmusic data 1, and generates the calling melody signal and transmits toHanako Yamada who is the other party of the telephone call via modem(2), the sending and receiving block (1), and antenna (15). As a result,Hanako Yamada will listen to the same reservation melody as the callingmelody while reserving the telephone call. In addition, the informationwhich shows that the calling melody is used when the calling melody isthrown as a reservation melody is transmitted, and the telephone callopponent is informed that “Calling melody reservation” is used forinstance, by the voice, the character or the lighting of reservationlamp etc. The telephone call opponent (in this case, Hanako Yamada) canconfirm the calling melody which rings when the user is called, and theconversation afterwards might become happy too.

Afterwards, it is possible to talk with the other party of the telephonecall by returning to former state of the telephone call by operating thereservation melody key again (for instance, operation pushed only once).

Embodiment 2 (Calling Melody)

Next, an explanation will be provided about the calling melodyperformance operation together with the operation of the calling sideand the called side by the 1st and 2nd example in state of memory ofFIG. 3(B), and the 3rd example in state of memory of FIG. 6.

The 1st Example:

FIG. 4 shows a pattern diagrams of display part included in the presentinvention.

First of all, it is assumed that Hanako Yamada who is a caller (Thebureau telephone number: 090-8765-4321) tries to call a called side user(in this case, Taro Yamada).

FIG. 4(A) is the state after the registration of the telephone book dataof memory number 1 and the calling melody data of memory number 4. Inmemory number 1 of telephone/E-mail memory, the data of 090-8765-4321 asthe telephone number data, Hanako Yamada as the name data, “NULL” dataas the E-MAIL address data and “1” as the calling melody number data areregistered newly. Although the registration screen of the E-MAIL addressis not displayed in FIG. 2, however, you may perform the registrationdemand by only expanding the registration item of the E-MAIL addressinto the same screen. The user operates key input block (8), forinstance, and the calling melody data.

FIG. 4(A) is the state that Hanako Yamada operated key input block (8)and called data of Taro Yamada (The bureau telephone number:090-1111-1111) from the telephone book memory of storage block (10).Under such a condition, when the calling melody specification key of thekey input block (8) is pushed, the control block (7) displays “Goodnews” first (Refer to FIG. 4(B)). When the calling melody specificationkey is continuously pushed, the control block (7) displays “Bad news”(Refer to FIG. 4(C)). In addition, when the calling melody specificationkey is pushed, the control block (7) returns to the state without theitem of the calling melody as shown in FIG. 4(A). However, the item canbe added if necessary for instance like “Happy news” and “Sad news”,etc. though it explains only two “Good news” and “Bad news” in thisexecution example.

Next, in the state of this FIG. 4(B), when Hanako Yamada operates thetelephone call key of the key input block (8), the control block (7)reads the telephone number “090-1111-1111” and the calling melodyspecification data “4” from telephone/E-mail memory of storage block(10), and transmits various control data to the communication networkvia the base station according to a well-known communication procedure,and calls Taro Yamada. Further, the calling melody specification datatransmitted for “Good news” or “Bad news” is registered independently ineach memory number though it does not specified in FIG. 3. That is tosay the data of “Good news” is “4” and the data value of “Bad news” is“3” for Taro Yamada, but different data may be registered for otherparties of the telephone call. When the call instruction from HanakoYamada to Taro Yamada is received, the communication network informsthat there was arrival of a call to 090-1111-1111 and the calling melodyspecification data is “4”, and calls the communication terminalequipment of Taro Yamada.

FIG. 5 shows a pattern diagrams of display part included in the presentinvention.

The control block (7) of the communication terminal equipment that TaroYamada has always observes the control channel specified by the basestation while waiting. When detected the arrival of a call to itself andthe calling melody specification data is “4”, the control block (7)judges for 090-8765-4321 of caller information transmitted at the sametime whether to be registered in telephone/E-mail memory of the memoryblock (10). In this case, because 090-8765-4321 is registered in memorynumber 1, the control block (7) displays the caller number and HanakoYamada of the name. In addition, because the calling melodyspecification data is “4”, “Good news” of the character datacorresponding to it is displayed, and the control block (7) performs“Beautiful Sunday” of music data 4 registered in memory number 4 as acalling melody (Refer to FIG. 5(A)).

When “3” of the calling melody specification data is received, thecontrol block (7) displays “Bad news” and performs “Dead march” of musicdata 3 registered in memory number 3 here (Refer to FIG. 5(B)).Moreover, when the calling melody specification data is not received,the control block (7) only performs music data 1 registered in memorynumber 1, and does not display “Good news” or “Bad news” (Refer to FIG.5(C)). Still more, when the received caller information (090-2222-2222for instance) is not registered in telephone/E-mail memory of the memoryblock (10), the control block (7) does not perform the music datacorresponding to the calling melody specification data even if it istransmitted, and generate the ring tone of uncertain caller (Refer toFIG. 5(D)). When Taro Yamada pushes the communication key after this,the control block (7) connects the telecommunication line according tothe prescribed link establishment procedure provided by thecommunication standard, and is put into the state which can be talkedover the telephone.

However, the calling melody specification data was specified by thenumber in the example of the first above-mentioned execution, but onlyinformation “Good news” or “Bad news” may be transmitted, and thecalling melody might be performed corresponding to it on the calledside. Moreover, when caller information is not registered intelephone/E-mail memory of the memory block (10), the music datacorresponding to it may not be performed in this case.

The 2nd Example:

An explanation will be provided of the example of the second executionwhen Hanako Yamada calls Taro Yamada by using FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 as wellas the example of the first execution. However, the explanation of FIG.4(A) omits the overlap description because it is the same.

In the state of FIG. 4(B), when Hanako Yamada operates the telephonecall key of the key input block (8), the control block (7) reads090-1111-1111 of the telephone numbers and the music data 4 of callingmelody for “Good news” from telephone/E-mail memory of the memory block(10), and transmits various control data to the communication networkvia the base station according to a prescribed communication procedure,and calls Taro Yamada. In this case, the control block (7) transmits theinformation which shows “Good news” instead of transmitting music data 4directly to the communication network, and the calling melody server ofthe communication network may transmit the music data for “Good news”specified beforehand to Taro Yamada.

When the call instruction from Hanako Yamada to Taro Yamada is received,the communication network informs the arrival of a call to 090-1111-1111through the control channel (stopping tree channel or paging channel,etc.) of the base station. The communication network receives the musicdata 4 transmitted or the music data for “Good news” from the callingmelody server and memorizes in the calling melody storage buffer once,and calls the communication terminal equipment of Taro Yamada.

Now, an explanation will be provided with reference to FIG. 5. Thecontrol block (7) of the communication terminal equipment that TaroYamada has always observes the control channel specified by the basestation while waiting. When the arrival of a call to itself is detected,the control block (7) transmits information (It is shown thisinformation is to be able to receive the calling melody) which showsthat it is in the state of the standby to the communication network.

When the information which shows in the standby state is received, thecommunication network transmits the music data for “Good news” memorizedin the calling melody storage buffer once to the communication terminalequipment via the control channel.

The communication terminal equipment judges for 090-8765-4321 of callerinformation whether to be registered in telephone/E-mail memory of thestorage block (10) when the caller information transmitted in arrival ofa call and the music data of the calling melody for “Good news” isreceived. In this case, because 090-8765-4321 is registered in memorynumber 1, the control block (7) displays the caller number and the nameof Hanako Yamada. In addition, the control block (7) displays “Goodnews” which is the character data corresponding to it from theinformation which notifies “Good news” inserted in the music data, andperforms the received music data as a calling melody (Refer to FIG.5(A)).

When the music data is the one to notify “Bad news”, the control block(7) displays “Bad news” (Refer to FIG. 5(B)). Further, the explanationfrom FIG. 5(C) to the state which can be talked over the telephone isomitted because it is similar to the description of the example of thefirst execution.

The 3rd Example:

Explanation will be provided of the example of the third execution whenHanako Yamada calls Taro Yamada by using from FIG. 4 to FIG. 6.

FIGS. 6(A) and 6(B) show a pattern diagrams of storage part included inthe present invention and the state (Correspond to FIG. 3(B)) after thetelephone book data and the calling melody data newly acquired areregistered. However, the explanation which overlaps in FIG. 3(A) andFIG. 3(B) is omitted.

In FIG. 6(A), the data of 090-8765-4321 as the telephone number data,Hanako Yamada as the name data, “NULL” data as the E-MAIL address dataand “1” as the calling melody number data are registered in memorynumber 1 of telephone/E-mail memory. Moreover, No. 4 as a calling melodyof a good news and No. 3 as a calling melody of a bad news areregistered. Further, FIG. 6(B) shows the registration state of thecalling melody memory.

In the state of FIG. 6(B), when Hanako Yamada operates the communicationkey of the key input block (8), the control block (7) transmits090-1111-1111 of the telephone numbers and the information which shows“Good news” (For instance, the bit of numeric data 4 and a goodinformation flag is set up.) from telephone/E-mail memory of the storageblock (10) and various control data to the communication network via thebase station according to a prescribed communication procedure, andcalls Taro Yamada. In this case, the information which shows “Good news”or “Bad news” is not registered independently in each memory number.That is, the same data is registered even if the other party of thecommunication changes, and transmitted.

When the call instruction from Hanako Yamada to Taro Yamada is received,the communication network informs the arrival of a call to 090-1111-1111through the control channel (stopping tree channel or paging channel,etc.) of the base station and the information which shows the callingmelody specification data shows “Good news”, and calls the communicationterminal equipment of Taro Yamada.

The control block (7) of the communication terminal equipment that TaroYamada has always observes the control channel specified by the basestation while waiting. When the arrival of a call to itself is detectedand the calling melody specification data is the information showing“Good news”, the control block (7) judges for 090-8765-4321 of thecaller information transmitted at the same time whether to be registeredin telephone/E-mail memory of the storage block (10). In this case,because 090-8765-4321 is registered in memory number 1, the controlblock (7) displays the caller number and Hanako Yamada of the name, anddisplays “Good news” of the character data corresponding to it becausethe information of the calling melody specification data shows “Goodnews” in addition, and further performs “Beautiful Sunday” of music data4 registered in memory number 4 as a calling melody (Refer to FIG.5(A)).

When the information which shows “Bad news” of the calling melodyspecification data is received, the control block (7) displays “Badnews”, and performs “Dead march” of music data 3 registered in memorynumber 3 here (Refer to FIG. 5(B)).

However, if the caller information is not registered in thetelephone/E-mail memory of the storage block (10) when the callingmelody specification data is received, the control block (7) does notselect and perform the calling melody based on the calling melodyspecification data. Further, the explanation from FIG. 5(C) to enteringthe state which can be talked over the telephone is omitted, because itis similar to the description of the example of the first execution.

Moreover, as mentioned above, it can be assumed that a reservationmelody sending method or a calling melody performing method of thisinvention by assuming the step or the process in the time series whereeach operation of the communication terminal equipment is explained inEmbodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

In addition, the program which provides for the processing procedure ofeach operation that the control block of the communication terminalequipment does is memorized in the information storage medium (forinstance, semiconductor memory, LD (laser disc), HD (hard disk), FD(flexible disk), MD (mini-disc), CD (compact disc) or DVD (digital videodisc), etc.), and similar operation can be done by installing theprocessing procedure (for instance, application program) in variousinformation processors.

According to the communication terminal equipment, the reservationmelody sending method and the information storage medium of thisinvention, as explained above, it is not necessary to provide with thereservation melody generation device separately because the callingmelody corresponding to the other party of the telephone call is sent tothe telephone call line as a reservation melody when the reservationoperation is done while talking over the telephone. The communicationterminal equipment becomes cheap only as for the amount. Moreover, theinterest increases because the other party of the telephone call canlisten to the calling melody which flows when the call is done, too.

According to the communication terminal equipment, the calling melodyperforming method and the information storage medium which lies thisinvention as explained above, because the calling melody that the callerside specified or transmitted is performed according to the contentwhich tries to be passed on and the content is displayed even if thecalling melody corresponding to the other party is composed to beperformed when the telephone hangs from a specific other partyregistered in telephone/E-mail memory, the called person can learn theoutline beforehand.

On the other hand, if caller information is not registered intelephone/E-mail memory though it is time when received the callingmelody specification data, the calling melody based on the callingmelody specification data is not selected and not performed, so it ispossible to obstruct the performance of calling melody by malice.
